Jafar Hassan explains why you should vote Green in the GLA election next week

This is what Jafar Hassan told the Harrow Times when asked why
people should vote for him as the Green candidate for the Brent and
Harrow constituency. LINK

Green Party candidate Jafar Hassan said:

"London is in an awful housing crisis and the Green Party are the only
ones with a viable plan to support and protect renters, and ensure
housing is genuinely affordable.

"This city is becoming more expensive to live in, making it harder for
communities to stick together, but also making it completely unfair for
those travelling from the zones in Harrow and Brent. We are campaigning
to introduce a flat fares system making it cheaper to travel if you're a
part time worker or living in the outer parts of London.

"Investment in cycling and speeding up the introduction of zero
emissions taxis and buses. During the school rush on busy roads around
Brent and Harrow it is a disgrace that children are being exposed to so
much toxic air on a daily basis. I will be fighting for safer cycling
routes and ensuring all of the bus routes in our boroughs are electric
powered.

"I've lived in north west London my whole life, I studied both my
journalism degree and masters in politics in London. This city along
with my upbringing has shaped who I am. My mum who came to this country
from Iraq before even turning 20 raised my sister and I on her own. I
learnt from her the importance of persevering through difficult times
and never losing hope. I will fight to give London back to Londoners and
give them the Green policies they want.

"We absolutely need more Greens on the London Assembly. Your votes for
the Green Party in London elections have ensured investment for Cycle
Superhighway and Cycle Hire, helped create the London Living Wage Unit,
meaning that 60,000 Londoners are now paid a Living Wage, and pushed new
housing developments to have more affordable housing. If you only want
to give us one vote make sure it is on the orange ballot paper, where if
you vote Green, you get Green."
